How do I change name of ipod touch on windows when it it says it is  a different name?

When I connect my ipod touch to my computer it is recognized as another family members ipod but has my photos.  How do I change name?

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

  • HT1212 how do i change my "diabled" ipod touch to another computer?

    I have an ipod touch that I couldn't remember the password, so after several attempts it is now disabled.  I can't plug it in to the computer that I started it up on because I don't have access to that computer anymore.  How do I start over this ipod to my new computer and itunes?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • How do I change firefox to open a new window when I start it several times instead of opening a new tab when I want to go to a different location?

    I want to go to several different websites at the same time. I want to compare the information on each site. I do not want to open a tab, I want a whole new window. How do I change firefox so it will open a new window instead of opening a new tab and then requesting the site I want to go to?

    In Windows XP I am able to right click a link and get an option to open it as a new Firefox window
    *'''tear off tabs'''
    You will probably note tabs can be dragged along the tab toolbar, they also tear off. You can click a tab and drag it off the browser onto the Windows Desktop where it will open as a new window, or drag it on to another open browser window.
    An alternative is to click the tab and drag it down, again it will then open in a new Window.

  • How can I reactivate my locked ipod touch 5th generation when i forgot my information????

    I dont remember my apple id or my password i bought it made the account an never really used it in the beginning and forgot the information and i turned it off while it was downloading new software and i havent been able to use it since what can i do?                                                      I have a bad memory.

    Without the ID and password you will not be able to activate it.  If you don't know your iCloud ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

    Lucky you, the only way to get your missing device back is thru a GOOD SAMARITHAN.Remember once the new user puts your device to "ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS" and you connect it to your iTunes ,using the new users Apple ID ,everything changes to the new users name,unless you have an Apple Care protection plan which is  registered under that serial #.

  • How can I tell if my iPod touch is water damaged?

    How can I tell if my iPod touch 5th generation is water damaged? It will not turn on or charge but I can't tell what is wrong with it.

    Without cracking it open you really can't. This is a long shot, you could try drying it out. Do not attempt to charge or turn on, leave it off. Place it in a sealed bag of uncooked rice for about a week. change the rice every couple of days. After you dry it attempt to turn it on, you my need to charge it first, about 30 minutes. If it works great, if not you may need to reset or attempt to restore. And it may never work again, but for a couple of dollars of rice its worth trying. If you do get it to work the first thing you want to do is make a full backup to your computer. The thing with water damage is you just don't know how long it will continue to work.  If you go to Apple be prepared to spend some money, water damage is not covered with the standard warranty. Good luck, hope this helps. Cheers.

  • How to verify apple id? iPod touch, iOS 4

    how to verify apple id?
    iPod touch, iOS 4

    The link I provided in my first reply included:
    Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
    Why do you want to verify your ID? Is something asking your?

  • Blind Song Changing in iPhone/iPod touch request

    I like the way Apple creates its products. Each modern Apple gadget is simple, qualitative, reliable and complete, polished. But sometimes I got a feeling that when Apple engineers find a good way to solve a task they allowing themselves to forget that this way is not the only possible one. Maybe I wrong. I hope so.
    Right now I’m talking about one exact feature – a blind song changing. This feature is usable when you prefer to keep your iPod in pocket. And to keep different music in your iPod. You’re tired of rock and right now you want a jazz song, just one.
    As far as I know currently there are two ways to change songs in iPod touch or iPhone (if you are not using external controller). A first one – Shaking feature, which you will mostly like to disable if you’re keeping your iPod touch in trouser’s pocket because Shaking will sometimes occasionally switch a song. A second one – thru the touch interface. Which is almost impossible if you’re not looking at the display.
    I would be more than happy to see a blind song changing feature in next iOS update. And I have my personal idea how it may be fulfilled. In “Setting” -> “General” there are options to determine iPod behavior when you press a Home (physical) button. Below “Home”, “Search” and “IPod” options Apple could place more options for iPod behavior while device is LOCKED. And there they could place an option to switch a song. It may react to double press. Or to long press. Or behavior by any different way Apple engineers would find possible. Also that’s how they would be able to keep things as they are for those users who don’t need to change anything.
    I would like Apple engineers to see this topic. To know about the feature I and other consumers with demands similar to me need. Probably if this topic will get enough responses, Apple will fulfill a request and make iPod touch and iPhone even better. So I ask anyone who understand my position to answer anything to keep the topic up.
    Thank you.
    Regards, Ilya

    Have you investigated using Voice Control to control music playback? Voice commands can be used rather than touching the screen. This feature is available on the iPod Touch 3 Gen and 4 Gen (current).

  • HT1689 How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

    How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

    If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID.  Then click the FindMyiPod icon.  This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
    Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

  • The divice for changing the an ipod touch to an iphone?

    Hi,everybody, how do you know the divice for changing the an ipod touch to an iphone? I have an ipod touch now. I really want to own an iphone, however, the price were far beyond my ways. I hear that there is a device can change the ipod to an iphone, how is it?Anybody can tell me?
    Thanks so much!

    I do a LOT of calling on mine. Simply install the Skype app and get a SkypeOut account and SkypeIn number. They run about $60.00 a year for both. You get unlimited US & CA long distance, plus voicemail. For texting, I bought and use the TextFree app. You will need a wifi connection though for all this to work, but there are public wifi hot spots all over. I've even found open networks driving down the street. I just pull over, logon and make my call.

  • How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

    How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
    When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod.  I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

    For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.
